Get funding for your project!
The CITRIS Seed Funding Program is designed to support innovative, early-stage collaborative projects that can attract larger-scale support from federal, state, industrial, and/or philanthropic funding sources. Funded projects have attracted more than $60 million in follow-on support from federal, state, industrial, and private sources including the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Intel, Microsoft, Mellon Foundation, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

CITRIS @ UC Davis helps you to take your research project to the next level. We offer an array of professionals that have gone through the difficulties of doing first-tier research and are ready to ease your road towards it.
Professor Ghiasi's research on Non-invasive fetal oxygen monitor
The new device, developed by researchers at the University of California Davis, measures blood oxygen saturation in a fetus during labor. Based on the same principle as the finger oximeter, it measures different wavelengths of light to calculate the oxygen saturation in your blood.
Experimental tests in pregnant sheep, published in IEEE Transactions of Biomedical Engineering, show that the new device could accurately measure oxygen levels in the fetus.
Principal investigators: Soheil Ghiasi, Andre Knoesen (UC Davis) Neil Ray (UC Davis Medical Center)

One Loop Hyperloop Pod
The Hyperloop Pod Design Team at UC Davis is a student team dedicated to realizing the Hyperloop–a new mode of transportation based on pods moving at transonic speeds in a global network of vacuum tubes. Working towards this goal, we are competing in the annual SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition with the purpose of building a half-scale, functional pod to race in SpaceX’s vacuum tube.
